The official music video for Muse's 4th single from The 2nd Law has been released. It features the band crawling on the streets of Tokyo, searching for 'Panic Station'. Enjoy!

The music video for Muse's new single, Panic Station, will be released on Monday, 22nd April.

Filmed a few months ago in Japan, you might expect it to be suitably off-the-wall! Check out Muse's Tumblr for a few sneak previews.

Zane Lowe has chosen Panic Station as the "Hottest Record in the World", for the week starting Wednesday 17th April, and announced on the show that it will be released on June 3rd. The release date was later confirmed on his blog, along with a Madeon remix of the track.

The blog states that the music video was shot in Japan and is expected to be released "soon".

Remember that Animals competition which kicked off a couple of months ago? It's drawing to a close, and a winner will be announced shortly.

Accompanied by a 300-piece orchestra (reportedly costing £300k, despite 'cutting back'), Muse performed a spectacular rendition of future single, Supremacy, at last night's BRIT awards.

Muse were nominated in the 'Best British Group' and 'Best Live Act' categories, losing out to Mumford & Sons and Coldplay respectively.

Muse have been ordered to scale down tonight's BRITs performance, over health and safety fears.

MUSE were furious yesterday when their big Brits opening performance had to be scaled down for health and safety reasons.

The rockers are kicking off proceedings tonight with a dramatic set showcasing 60 musicians on stage and a huge firework display at London’s O2 arena – albeit a slightly less dramatic firework display than the one originally planned.

The group, renowned for their epic light shows, were rapped by Royal Borough of Greenwich council chiefs who have now ordered them to dramatically tone down the pyrotechnics.

Muse frontman Matt Bellamy, above, guitarist Christopher Wolstenholme and drummer Dom Howard had originally planned for around 50 fireworks to go off in the direction of the audience.

But the band, who are up for two gongs, have been told they will only be allowed to fire 10 of the multi-coloured rockets.

A source said: “Bosses were concerned over the amount of pyrotechnics being used on stage so told Muse in no uncertain terms to cull the fireworks. There will be around 20,000 people inside the O2 and organisers couldn’t risk causing a blaze or injury.”

The band's current hit establishes the longest command in the chart's 24-year archives.

With a 19th week atop Billboard's Nielsen BDS-based Alternative Songs radio airplay chart, Muse's "Madness" rewrites the mark for the longest stay at No. 1 in the survey's 24-year history.

The track passes the 18-week domination of Foo Fighters' "The Pretender" in 2007. Muse also boasts the next title on the list of those with the most weeks atop Alternative Songs: the British trio spent 17 weeks at No. 1 with "Uprising" in 2009-10.
